Animal Prints — May Williams

Photographer Ian Kroft's dream is to finish his book on fellow veterans. When his father offers him the funds he needs in exchange for persuading a family to sell their farm, it sounds simple. Then Ian meets Colette and in a flash everything changes. Cherry Ridge Farm is home to Colette's family -- and to her animal rescue center. The slim, gorgeous veterinarian has no intention of selling. Soon Ian's chasing after her runaway dog and laughing at her jokes, and he knows that if he lets slip his real purpose, she'll never forgive him. Ian's torn between his book and his new romance…all while his father is clamoring for him to seal the deal. Colette can trust a dog to come back when she calls, but a man? Colette's been burned more than once. Then a sweet, athletic photographer pops into her life and makes her wonder if it's time to picture a new future.
